Lose some weight, have some fun

The second kick-off in Macon County for Lighten Up for Life will be at 9 a.m. Saturday, April 28, at the Franklin High School Gymnasium.

The LU4L program is a free weight loss challenge that is entirely web-based. The program is sponsored by Angel Medical Center and Macon County Public Health.

Four-person teams compete with others to lose the largest percentage of weight when compared with their competitors. At the conclusion of the challenge, the top three teams who have lost the highest percentage of weight receive prizes. The team who was the top winner during the first challenge all received Kindle Fires and a three-month free membership to Franklin Fitness for their families.
